Provide discreet locations in and around a workplace to support ad-hoc conversations and catch ups away from the desk. Typically upholstered and comfortable in format, they tend to work well for short-medium duration gatherings of a non-confidential nature.

A workplace that successfully integrates the business culture, ethics and ideals has been proven to promote ownership and belonging amongst its workforce, helping organisations to attract and retain its talent.

The advent of digital archiving and internal scanning has meant that storage solutions needn’t overrun the primary office space. That said, a completely paperless office remains viable for few organisations. Why not consider consolidating storage into dark high-density areas, leaving the main office landscape open and light.

Humans crave interaction and variety. This is why home working can be lonely and unproductive. The refreshment hub is where colleagues recharge, “collide” and chat, and in doing so generate ideas, news and gossip. They therefore give any business a “buzz” that should be embraced.

The “Positive Workplace” promotes balance and variety. As such spaces for quiet concentration are equally as important as lively meeting zones. These tend to be sized for 1 to 2 people only and can be intentionally devoid of distracting technology, such as smartphones.

“Hotelling” (aka hot-desking or desk sharing), is a viable approach for many teams within any organisation, but not all. If the nature of your work and office attendance is of a static and consistent nature then dedicated space remains relevant.

In the Nineties and Noughtes down came the walls. “Knowledge sharing” became a buzzword in the new open workplace. This can only thrive when distraction and noise can be intelligently managed, and there are now many marvellous products to oblige in this quest.

A consequence of Smart Technology over the past few years has been the reduction in desk size. Therefore chats with colleagues at your desk aren’t always possible. ‘”Landing” spaces are furniture solutions planned within the immediate “Team” space as a location to discuss and review. Simply planned, with power and often height adjustable to suit all.

The traditional “Manager” area can be arranged and enhanced by a wealth of secluded and stylish furniture solutions. Using products that create footprints to suit all requirements and groupings, whilst maintaining team collaboration.
